      Anyone who calls themself a "software engineer" should be required to be licensed, have a graduate degree in engineering & carry at least $1 million in professional liability insurance. And certain types of software should only be sold if approved by a software engineer.

      I’d be out, and Epic games and Unreal Engine wouldn’t exist, if the world adopted your elitist licensing scheme. Oh well!

          No, actually, not at all. If you want to read a more nuanced tweet than my ham handed tweet, it's below. But I wasn't thinking of your wonderful games, complex as they are and no you would not need a license or really anything.https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/61814/law-licensure-and-technological-innovation …

          Unreal Engine is also used in architectural visualization, automotive visualization, film and television, and numerous other industries. Wouldn't be if regulators locked self-taught programmers out of work.

          A person can still build on (or iterate) on the UE without licensure, just as much as someone with a 3D printer can make an emergency ventilator. Even for people using UE for essential (lethal if malfunctioning) cases, the person signing off on the software would be licensed

          Governments have no more right to require a license for writing a program than they have to require artists get a permit before making a painting, or authors to get a license to write a book. The future you’re describing is, simply put, tyranny against free expression.

          That would be terrible for games and the industry.

          It's okay, he's just salty for all the College tuition fees he's paid to be out-classed by people who didn't and refined their skill.

          You don't need the tittle of engineer to makes or game engines.

          Can we please come up with an alternative word for engineer? One that isn't linked to the licensing / profession lal institutions? And carries the same power?
